Illustration, Drawing & Procreate – Individual coaching from an experienced illustrator Do you want to specifically improve your drawing skills, expand your creative expression, or prepare for a design degree? I can support you with in-depth expertise, personal guidance, and extensive experience! I am a freelance illustrator with a Bachelor's degree in Art Education (ZHdK) and a Master's degree in Illustration (HSLU) – and have been successfully working independently for publishers, companies, and agencies for over seven years.

What if art were more than just a hobby? A way to breathe, to slow down, to reconnect with oneself. A pencil in hand, and the world calms down. With a degree in art and communication, I am passionate about drawing and offer personalized lessons in your home, in a relaxed yet stimulating atmosphere. Drawing, watercolor, painting: I love sharing these techniques that combine expressiveness and simplicity, allowing everyone to express themselves freely. Whether you're a child, teenager, or adult, whether you've never held a paintbrush or are looking to refine your style, there's a place for you. Together, we'll progress according to your desires: laying the foundations (proportions, composition, color theory), trying your hand at sketching, illustration, or watercolor, or cultivating your own visual language. Each session is like a blank page, ready to receive your first mark. The courses can be conducted in French or English. No prior talent is necessary, only the desire to get started. And you don't need elaborate equipment: a simple pencil is all you need. We progress at your own pace, at home or elsewhere, whichever suits you best. What touches me most? Seeing my students leave with brighter eyes, proud of what they have created on paper. Because, ultimately, drawing is like breathing: a first breath, and everything begins.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation. Are you applying to university for a creative subject? I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally. I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes. My guidance may include: 1- Developing original ideas and personal themes. 2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes. 3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques. 4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills. 5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios. 6- Personal-statement and interview preparation. 7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses. My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further. Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process. Online lessons are available internationally.
